Lineage
Data was digitised by Natalie Scudder (MMO) from information provided by the FMC Operations team. The CRZ is made up of a number of ICES areas (IVc, VIId, IVb, IVa, VIa and VIIa) and North of Scotland follows the Continental Shelf limit (co-ordinates can be found in Schedule 1 of The Continental Shelf (Designation of Areas) (Consolidation) Order 2000 No.3062). The SRZ is ICES area VIIe inclusive. The Celtic Sea closures occurs annually between 1 February and 31 March in ICES rectangles, 30E4, 31E4 and 32E3. Finally the Biologically Sensitive area was digitised following the co-ordinates supplied in Article 5 of the COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 494/2002 19 March 2002.
